Over a period of 1500 years, the 66 books of the Bible were penned by roughly 40 men with varying backgrounds and experiences.
You have to first understand that no biblical prophecy can be interpreted according to one’s own preferences since no prophecy has ever been the result of a human impulse; rather, men who were stirred by the Holy Spirit spoke on God’s behalf.
The numerous authors of the Bible were both verbally and plenarily inspired to write it, making it the inspired word of God. In other words, the Bible’s authors were given the authority to write every word as well as the inspiration to do so (Jer. 30:1-2Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)).

The Bible’s Impact in History
For two thousand years the Bible has been taking hold of people’s lives and making them tremble—first with fear because it reveals our sin, then with faith because it reveals God’s grace. A single verse, Romans 13:13, convicted and converted the immoral Augustine. For Martin Luther, a miserable monk, the light broke in through Romans 1:17. He said,
Night and day I pondered until I saw the connection between the justice of God and the statement that “the just shall live by his faith.” Then I grasped that the justice of God is that righteousness by which through grace and sheer mercy God justifies us through faith. Thereupon I felt myself to be reborn and to have gone through open doors into paradise. (Here I Stand, p. 49)
